A summer day camp that’s REALLY a camp – all the outdoors, all the adventure

Your child deserves more from their summer camp than just summer-time babysitting. Maple Key is a safe, positive community where we empower your child to develop creativity, confidence, and a sense of adventure.

Confident

Creative

Adventurous

Your child will build resilience by conquering new challenges in a safe, supportive environment.

Your child will stretch their muscles in skill areas often ignored by schools, such as fine arts, music, and woodworking.

Your child will rekindle their imagination through innovative, immersive, and original programming.

In-Person Camp resumes in 2021

In the meantime, explore our Camp-To-Go Programs: Creativity, confidence, and a sense of adventure – no matter where you are.

Every kid deserves to reach their full potential.

Today’s kids face more pressure than we did as kids: Social media & other technology. Social insecurity. Academic stress. Difficulty managing conflicts. As parents, it’s hard to watch them struggle. We worry about how to help and protect our kids against all of these problems.

Confident, adventurous kids are more resilient against the pressures of a modern world, and are better equipped to become happy, productive adults.

Role Models

MKDC is a tight-knit community where leadership, individuality, and family spirit are the most celebrated character traits.

We empower campers to choose activities that interest them, building confidence and individuality.

We choose only the best staff – most of whom are future teachers. Campers have strong, positive leaders who truly care about them.

We know what it’s like

As an elementary teacher and a parent, I understand the challenges that today’s kids face. That’s why I believe it is more important than ever for children to have a safe space where they truly feel they belong. We’ve helped hundreds of kids to feel strong, confident, and more resilient. We’d love the opportunity to do the same for yours, too.
